  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Joplin

    Joplin - the secure note taking and to-do app with synchronisation capabilities for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS.

  • Joplin runs on Linux, Android, Windows and Mac, and is phenomenal. It supports OneDrive, DropBox, NextCloud and Owncloud in the application, or even to a local filesystem so you can possibly pass it to a sync service of your choice manually. I've been using it for the last school year.

  • QOwnNotes

    QOwnNotes is a plain-text file notepad and todo-list manager with Markdown support and Nextcloud / ownCloud integration.

  • Currently QOwnNotes. Before that I had used Cherrytree. If you don't have a problem with non open source software, you can also look at Obsidian. However, as far as I know, none of the mentioned tools supports drawing. But I'm not sure, because I didn't need this function myself.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • notion-auto-pull

    Bash script to automatically download a notion workspace

  • If you're cool with it not being a desktop client, I really, really love using Notion.

  • lotion

    Unofficial Notion.so app for Linux (by puneetsl)

  • I use Notion via Lotion (there are some other alternatives like notion-repackaged).

  • notion-repackaged

    notion executables with the notion-enhancer embedded & a vanilla port of the official app to linux

  • I use Notion via Lotion (there are some other alternatives like notion-repackaged).
